Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are excellent to add a warm feel to any space without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are also the safest type of fire available.

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for the fire and you follow all safety instructions the fireplace will operate in a safe manner.

Ease of installation

Ethanol fires are a fast and easy solution for homeowners looking to change the look of their living space or make a focal point of their home decor. You don't need a chimney and they don’t produce dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your ceilings or walls.

Installation is easy and doesn't require any assistance from a professional. It is all you have to do is sure that your ceiling or wall is sturdy and adhere to the directions for the model you choose.

Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the equipment needed to install them as a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It will take an experienced professional around an hour to put in the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.

You can also pick between automatic and manual bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, which means it will burn longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. A manual burner operates in the same way as a traditional fireplace, however you'll need matches or lighters to light the flames.

When choosing a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace it is important to remember that the burner must be covered by non-combustible material to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could become too hot and damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are an excellent alternative for those looking to create a dramatic focal point in their home but don't have the budget or time to build a wood or gas fireplace. They're the perfect choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't create ash or soot, so there are no maintenance concerns.

Designs and styles

There are many different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces can be found in. Some have a more traditional wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to look sleek and modern fireplace. Each type has the same benefits, regardless of the style and ambiance without toxic gases or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and require special mounting equipment. They must also meet certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire is started by a burner pan that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is then lit with a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is lit, you can sit back and relax in the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.

Certain ethanol fire places provide temperature settings that care doesn't produce smoke, so it won't cause bad smell in the room.

As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace a bio ethanol fire doesn't lose much heat through the chimney, so it can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This lets you keep your furniture close to the flame without worrying about it catching on fire, which could be dangerous.

There are a variety of designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can opt for an elegant and contemporary look by installing it on the wall or opt for one that is recessed to blend into the style of your space.

A burner that is either manual or automated is another option to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automated one will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.

It is important that you allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol could evaporate and you'll need to start again.

The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This gives you enough time to remove the flames, and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any leftover fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from occurring.

Ease of maintenance

The bio ethanol fuel is added to the burner and then lit. As the fuel burns, it generates a flame and heat that can be adjusted using a slider (not all designs feature this). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can alter the speed at which fuel burns and how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns, it produces some soot, but this can be easily cleaned by wiping the electric fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance required is keeping the burner filled with the correct fuel and making sure it's a safe distance away from any fire-prone objects or other equipment.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install and you don't need to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to be very flexible when designing your home and also where you would like to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose a freestanding fireplace that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls with ease, and some models can be rotated 180 degrees so you can move the flame and heat into the desired area of your home. Some models include a remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from your couch.

A majority of bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets that allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. Installing the fireplace anywhere you like is possible, however, you'll still be able to make use of the remote control to turn it off or adjust the flame's height and adjust the temperature.

If you're not using your ethanol burner, make sure that it is shut off and is away from any flammable materials or equipment. Also, don't attempt to add fuel to the burner until it's cooled to room temperature and always be cautious when handling the burner as it is very hot.
